Most of my #PnPCovers books are second hand, found at used book stores and rummage sales. Each one is special.

My happy hour is the hours I get to read!

Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald | Therese Anne Fowler

I don‘t usually read a book at breakfast-usually it‘s WaPo on my Kindle these days- but Uverse struck again on Saturday. Service is out. No tv, no internet, no phone. 😡 Living on cell data until the tech gets here on Wednesday. Not happy, but at least I have plenty of reading time. Not sure why I‘m eating with grandson‘s dinosaur placemat 😂

GrilledCheeseSamurai I mean...if your gonna have a placemat it might as well have dinosaurs on it. 🤷‍♂️ 7h

Beloved | Toni Morrison

“But if her shining was not for him, who then? He had never known a woman who lit up for nobody in particular, who just, did it as a general announcement.” Well captured, Toni Morrison, and also, 🤨

Thank you Tulsa City County Library for allowing this wonderful book to travel to Davenport, Iowa!!!! 😄 I‘m really enjoying this series so far. DCI Kim Stone faces off with a well respected psychologist, who is assisting with some recent cases. Stone doesn‘t trust her and digs deeper!!!! A thrilling ride as Kim battles her personal demons and brilliantly solves the cases put before her!!! Highly recommend 💜💜💜

Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA | Amaryllis Fox

pick

It isn't like the movies, Amaryllis Fox says in the early chapters of her memoir. There aren't high speed chases through city streets, jumping through civilians as the undercover agent evades their surveillance tail. She then proceeds to tell a story that is so compelling, I can't for the movie (which is, apparently, coming).

(more in comments)

ablachly Recruited out of Georgetown, Fox becomes an agent for the CIA, working under non-official cover as an arms dealer posing as an art dealer. This story about the decade she spent doing counterterrorism work is fascinating, as are all the places you see her grasp for her own identity -- who is she, underneath all the masks she's wearing? It's an exhilarating book, which never loses its humanity. 1w
